Not true. That's what a lazy man would do (use a wax/polish combined product). That's OTC stuff and doesn't compare to products that are specifically designed to do one thing. It is like that in every aspect of life and business. A man who is fooling around with 50 different women is not all that good to any one of them. A man who concentrates his love and affection on one woman is the better man in general, and to the woman he loves. Products that spread themselves thin by trying to do too much will never stand up against a product that concentrates on one given purpose. Your OTC market is the prior. Jack of all trades, master of none.

I will say this. If you have never eaten filet mignon, why the hell would you go to a restaurant and pay $150 dollars for dinner with your wife? You wouldn't. But once filet mignon has danced on your tongue, you will never stick that crap they call steak at the Waffle House in your mouth again. Like fine cigars, professional detailing products is a learned appreciation.

That's fine, just make sure that you don't park next to me at Camaro5 Fest. You might not be able to see your car to get back in it!
